Optimising images in a Ship iFrame

Users can now optimise the images in a Ship iFrame by using the new EXPECTED WIDTH field available in the Customise your Widget step. Using it can drastically decrease the load time of the Ship iFrame.

They are resized so as to make them the exact dimensions they are displayed in, instead of loading a much bigger image in an area that is small

They are compressed so as to make them smaller in size, without losing any of the quality.

NOTE: Deckplans are not compressed, as the compressions may result in loss of quality, rendering any text on it unreadable.

How to find the Expected Width

The expected width, is the area in which you Ship iFrame will be displayed. This is usually the width of the body of your website (ie, anything that doesn't include the header, navigation, sidebar, or footer).

There are multiple ways to find the Expected Width for your specific website:

Asking a member of your IT team

Look into the settings of your site if you have access to them

Easy trick: Using Screenshots

Navigate to a page that would have the same layout as the page you would embed your Ship iFrame in
